Book Description

This book explores machine learning and its impact on how we make sense of the world. It does so by bringing together two 'revolutions' in a surprising analogy: the revolution of machine learning, which has placed computing on the path to artificial intelligence, and the revolution in thinking about the law that was spurred by Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr in the last two decades of the 19th century. Holmes reconceived law as prophecy based on experience, prefiguring the buzzwords of the machine learning age - prediction based on datasets.

It introduces readers to the key concepts of machine learning, discusses the potential applications and limitations of predictions generated by machines using data, and informs current debates amongst scholars, lawyers and policy makers on how it should be used and regulated wisely.

Technologists will also find useful lessons learned from the last 120 years of legal grappling with accountability, explainability, and biased data.

• What Was Artificial Intelligence? (Sue Curry Jansen)

  Prescient autopsy of AI self-selling - the rhetoric of the masculinist sublime - is reprinted with a new introduction. Now an open access book, it's a message in a bottle, addressed to Musk, Bezos, and the latest generation of AI myth-makers.

• The Amazing Journey of Reason: from DNA to Artificial Intelligence

  This book analyses the evolution of complex structures (Organisms, or organized, living, systems) in the universe - from the subatomic particles after the Big Bang onwards - in order to understand the emergence of today's interconnected society.

• Artificial Intelligence Technology (Huawei)

  This book aims to give our readers a basic outline of today's research and technology developments on artificial intelligence (AI), help them to have a general understanding of this trend, and familiarize them with the current research hotspots,

• Artificial Intelligence: Foundations of Computational Agents

  This text is a modern and coherent introduction to the field of Artificial Intelligence that uses rational computational agents and logic as unifying threads in this vast field. Many fully worked out examples, expanded coverage on machine learning material, etc.

• An Introduction to Quantum Machine Learning for Engineers

  This book provides a self-contained introduction to Quantum Machine Learning for an audience of engineers with a background in probability and linear algebra, describes the necessary background, concepts, and tools, covers parametrized quantum circuits, etc.

• Mathematics for Machine Learning (Marc P. Deisenroth, et al.)

  This self contained textbook bridges the gap between mathematical and machine learning texts, introducing the mathematical concepts with a minimum of prerequisites. It provides a beautiful exposition of the mathematics underpinning modern machine learning.

• Metalearning: Applications to Automated Machine Learning

  This book offers a comprehensive and thorough introduction to almost all aspects of metalearning and Automated Machine Learning (AutoML). It can help developers to develop systems that can improve themselves through experience.

• Probabilistic Machine Learning: An Introduction (Kevin Murphy)

  This book is a comprehensive introduction to machine learning that uses probabilistic models and inference as a unifying approach. It is written in an informal, accessible style, complete with pseudo-code for the most important algorithms.

• Probabilistic Machine Learning: Advanced Topics (Kevin Murphy)

  This book expands the scope of Machine Learning to encompass more challenging problems, discusses methods for discovering 'insights' about data, and how to use probabilistic models for causal inference and decision making under uncertainty.

• The Big Book of Machine Learning Use Cases

  This how-to reference guide provides everything you need - including code samples and notebooks - to start putting Machine Learning to work. It's a collection of technical blogs from industry thought leaders with practical use cases you can leverage today.

• Pen and Paper Exercises in Machine Learning (Michael Gutmann)

  This is a collection of (mostly) pen-and-paper exercises in machine learning. The author assumes basic calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics but no prior exposure to machine learning.

• Interpretable Machine Learning: Black Box Models Explainable

  This book explains to you how to make (supervised) machine learning models interpretable. The book focuses on machine learning models for tabular data (also called relational or structured data) and less on computer vision and NLP tasks.
